You nailed it! So much hype in the launch industry unsupported by either technology or sound business plans. Hoping Firefly can keep going and provide an alternative to Falcon 9. US Government failed when they allowed Delta II to die.
While he was talking about smallsat launch, and my article is about that, it's not too unfair to say other space businesses think similarly to some of those delusional launch businesses.
John,

Well said! There is a lot of delusional thinking in the small launch business.
Thank you (although those are Jurvetson's words)!
